Canon 8800F Slide Scanning Stray Light:
I have scanned approximately 150 slides with the Canon 8800F. The results are satisfactory, but I am not as enthusiastic about this scanner as some of the reviewers. My slide collection spans from 1967 forward, so many of the slides have been in and out of trays many times. The exposures range in quality, some of the slides have deteriorated some, and there is dust on many of the older slides.

Terrific tool!:
I purchased this scanner for my husband as an anniversary gift, hoping to get rid of some of the stored paper in the house. I broke open the box myself, to scan a pile of photos documenting the career of a colleague due to retire. It took no time to set up on my Mac and I was able to begin scanning immediately with no glitches. The scanning itself was fast. Others have commented on the noise during scanning. I didn't find this to be a problem. I finished my task with ease and the images came out wonderfully... more info
Best scanner I've ever used:
Although I haven't yet used all the featutres available on this scanner, it already has performed better, and done more, than my previous Epson scanner (which I thought did a credible job!). I especially like its perfomance on my slides (which I have thousands to do).
Success with slide scanning:
Canon CanoScan 8800F Color Film/Negative/Photo Scanner (2168B002) I used this product to successfully scan and convert more than 600 slides.
It worked very well and created good quality digital files. I had no problems installing the software and using this scanner.
